OBITUARY – Seth Shelby

II Timothy 4:7 – I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith!

Our son, Seth Paul Shelby, was born on June 21, 1980 and passed away suddenly on March 24, 2025. He is preceded in death by his father, Paul Shelby, and his paternal and maternal grandparents.

Seth is survived by his loving mother, Phyllis Shelby; his children: Elem, Ever and Eden Shelby; and their mother, Mindy Shelby.

Seth is also survived by his dear sister Ali Suitor, her husband Dustin Suitor, their children Cecilia and Nate Suitor and many loving aunts, uncles and cousins.

Seth graduated from Bryant High School and the University of Central Arkansas. He was employed by Waymack and Crew in the film industry. Seth was a member of New Life Church of Bryant.

Seth was very grateful for the values instilled by his parents. He had many lasting friendships and cherished relationships…the most cherished of all…his dear children whose lives and accomplishments brought incredible joy to his life…seeing them as they are and what they would grow to be.

Memorial service will be held at 11:00 am on March 28, 2025, at New Life Church in Bryant, AR.
